ALG 1 amount after changing to a temporary, lower-paid job?
Hello,
I currently work 24 hours a week in a part-time position, and have done so for 10 years.
If I am now made redundant (could happen for operational reasons) and then accept a 6-month limited part-time position (which I already have in mind), which is only 12 hours/week and with a significantly lower salary than the previous position, and then register as jobseeker/unemployed after the 6 months and receive ALG1, will my ALG1 be lower due to the 6 months of lower-paid employment – because it is based on my last salary?
Or is there some employee-friendly regulation that stipulates that if you take a lower-paying job to avoid unemployment and then become unemployed, your benefits are still based on the higher-paying job?
Because if there were no such regulation, it would be wiser for me to receive ALG 1 directly and reject the new job offer.
And one more question: What would the same scenario look like if the new job were advertised as a 530-euro job and not as a part-time position? Would that make a difference?
Thanks for any tips – please only from people who know what they're talking about 🙂

As parttime employment is under 15 hours a week and unemployment benefits can be obtained, there may be more possibilities for design. Therefore, advice on the spot should be recommended.
If you would lose your social insurance job indebtedly, then ALG – 1 would join you from the agency for work.
There you have to get to work on min. 15 hours a week and may not come to 15 hours a week, according to the employment contract, which would be the case with you.
So, could you also do your job in ALG – 1 cover your job from 12 hours a week, only the net income per month remained a free amount of 165 euros, the rest would then normally be counted on your ALG – 1 and would receive correspondingly fewer benefits from the agency for work.
As a rule, the ALG – 1 claim is calculated from the average gross income of the last 12 months, but may be extended to 24 months, but it may be necessary to ask the Employment Agency if the previous gross income is min. 30% higher than the last one if I wasn’t wrong.
You can only You In fact, the unemployment benefit may be lower.
The mini-job does not matter because it does not require social insurance.
The ALG 1 is always calculated from the last salary
That’s not correct.
